Surgical Therapy Q & A

I am 83 and just had total knee replacement. I am experiencing alot of groin pain, is this normal?

Do i have to get surgery if i have Bone Marrow Edema in the knee?

I have had both knees replaced my right hip twice and now I will have surgery to remove the vein in my left elbow to eleviate the numbness i’m experiencing in my hand.I have a high tolerance to pain. After my second knee surgery I was up doing physial therapy the same day. Is there a surgery to reconstruct my ankle(s)? I’ve been told that they can be bonded I don’t think i would like that.

Are there any new ideas other than the current procedures now being done for knee replacement?

My dad was in a car wreck July 10, and was diagnosed with a fractured vertebra. He recently has been told he would need a new procedure to correct the problem. He will be having the balloon procedure done. With the surgery being delayed for 3 months, will the success rate be higher or lower?

I have JRA. my problem is my right knee. its been giving me constant pain and i know it needs surgery. i already have both hips replaced. my question is .. is there other means of getting of the pain other than surgery? not just my knee is in pain, also my shoulders but the knee is giving me a lot of pain. so have to focus on that first. life has been so difficult w/ my condition now. i hope you can enlighten me.
